You know I reached under my bed and found my old Phillips CD100 the

A bit touchy to seizmic events, slow to find tracks, band a bit on the
bright side of comfortable, but it does still play CDs.

Be an antique soon I guess. sigh.

Double blind test. You know you want to!

Eiron.

I've just been given a Marantz CD63, which was the Marantz-badged version of
the CD100. Compared it to my current Meridian 206, couldn't say there was
any obvious difference, even though the Meridian was going to my 'speakers
SP-DIF to SP-DIF direct, and the Marantz was going through my A-D converter
first.

Just goes to show that if a product is audibly transparent, it's
transparent, and one transparent product will sound like another transparent
product.

If I can be bothered, I may do some level-matched blind testing, but even
sighted and not accurately level matched, there really wasn't anything to
choose between them.
